Tegenaria parietina is a rather rare European spider with a distribution from Northern Africa to Central Asia and has also been found in Uruguay and Argentina. In the UK it is sometimes known as the cardinal spider because of the legend that Cardinal Woolsey was terrified by this species at Hampton Court.
